Orzo, also known as risoni, is a type of pasta shaped as a large grain of rice. This delicous orzo is ridiculously tasty and will be a huge success with anyone you serve it to!
I had a couple of family members over for dinner Friday evening and this is what we served them. It was a huge success!
This meal is like a pasta version of a risotto.
It's the perfect meal for any occasion; It's warm on those colder evenings, great for lunch, perfect for comfort food. You can't go wrong with this dish!
It only takes 35-40 minutes to make and is well worth the wait!
It serves 7 but you can easily adjust this to serve more or less.
You can buy orzo in a supermarket for under £1 per packet. I had never heard of it until Joss suggested we make a dinner with it, that was the same for the rest of my family who tried it. But we were all so impressed and will definitely be making more with it.
I can't reccomend this dish enough, and there are plenty of other uses for it, traditionally it is used in things like soups, but I definitely will be experimenting, to create new and exciting dishes.
I hope you love this as much as we do!
